Keelesdale-Eglinton West

Keelesdale-Eglinton West is a neighbourhood in the city of Toronto. The neighbourhood has also been referred to as Silverthorn in the past, although despite this fact the city has chosen Keelesdale-Eglinton West. The boundaries of the neighbourhood are Eglinton Avenue West to the north from the CNR/CPR rail lines (west of Black Creek Drive), east to the CNR north-south lines, south along the CNR lines to one block south of Rogers Road and a line directly west to the CNR/CPR lines.

This is a working class neighbourhood and the majority of residents are owners (almost 60%). Although the houses are modest they are also single detached and owned. There is an above average contingency of Romance language speakers including Portuguese, Italian and Spanish. This neighbourhood contains the western end of Eglinton West.

The hilly terrain of the neighbourhood is comparable to nearby neighbourhoods but distinguishable compared with the city, which in general slopes south to the lake. The winding and one way streets make through traffic a non-factor for ball playing.
